I am wanting to go for my first ever tattoo...plucking up courage as not to good with pain but I know exactly what I want and where I want it.
The thing is I have a severe allergy to hair dye, if just a few drops touch my skin, it blisters and I swell up.
The tattoo won't be colour just black and grey, but what I wanted to know is if there are links between tattoo ink and hair dye. I looked up ingredients on google and I can't see the things I'm allergic to but I just wanted to check if anyone has experience of this.
I'm thinking of asking them if they can put a few drops on my skin and see what happens (usually any allergy appears within a few hours) but as ink goes under will that make any difference.
TIA
Thanks all for your advice.Went to see them yesterday and I'm going next saturday!!! It's a personal reason why I'm getting it. It's not just for the sake of having one and I've thought long and hard about it.
Just not sure about the pain threshold....
